What We Offer
CFD Simulation & Analysis
Full-pipeline computational fluid dynamics analysis for aerospace and industrial applications. We work with structured and unstructured grids, steady and unsteady RANS, and can advise on solver selection, meshing strategy, and post-processing.
- Transonic and supersonic external/internal aerodynamics
- Shock-wave / boundary-layer interaction (SWBLI)
- Separated flow and reattachment characterisation
- Drag breakdown and force-coefficient extraction
Transition Modelling
Laminar-to-turbulent transition has a decisive impact on skin friction, heat transfer, and overall performance. We develop, calibrate, and integrate transition models into existing CFD workflows.
- Local-correlation-based zero-equation transition models
- Compatibility studies with existing two-equation RANS solvers
- Turbomachinery-specific transition analysis
- Dynamical-systems stability review of model closures
Passive Flow Control Design
Design and optimisation of passive devices to control boundary-layer separation and reduce drag in high-speed flows.
- Ramp-type and wedge-type micro vortex generator sizing
- Tandem vortex-generator arrangement studies
- Porous-medium passive control for SWBLI drag reduction
- Swirl-centre tracking for vortex characterisation
Multi-Objective Design Optimisation
Surrogate-model-based design space exploration and optimisation for components with competing performance objectives.
- Kriging surrogate model construction and validation
- Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) optimisation
- Axiomatic Design Theory-based requirement decomposition
- Supersonic intake geometry parameterisation and optimisation
Custom Solver Development & Integration
We develop and extend open-source CFD solvers for research and engineering use, drawing on our experience building and maintaining FEST-3D.
- Feature extension for FEST-3D (structured, finite-volume, explicit solver)
- Turbulence and transition model implementation in C/Fortran/Python
- Solver benchmarking and convergence studies
- pyCGNS and CGNS mesh pipeline setup
Code Review & Methodology Audit
An independent technical review of your existing CFD workflow, model choices, and numerical setup.
- Boundary condition and mesh quality audit
- Turbulence model suitability assessment
- Convergence and numerical dissipation review
- Reproducibility and documentation recommendations
